Abstract
Machine learning and data-driven methods have started to transform the study of surfaces and interfaces. Here, we review how data-driven methods and machine learning approaches complement simulation workflows and contribute towards tackling grand challenges in computational surface science from 2D materials to interface engineering and electrocatalysis. Challenges remain, including the scarcity of large datasets and the need for more electronic structure methods for interfaces.
期刊介绍:
npj Computational Materials is a high-quality open access journal from Nature Research that publishes research papers applying computational approaches for the design of new materials and enhancing our understanding of existing ones. The journal also welcomes papers on new computational techniques and the refinement of current approaches that support these aims, as well as experimental papers that complement computational findings.
Some key features of npj Computational Materials include a 2-year impact factor of 12.241 (2021), article downloads of 1,138,590 (2021), and a fast turnaround time of 11 days from submission to the first editorial decision. The journal is indexed in various databases and services, including Chemical Abstracts Service (ACS), Astrophysics Data System (ADS), Current Contents/Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences, Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, SCOPUS, EI Compendex, INSPEC, Google Scholar, SCImago, DOAJ, CNKI, and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), among others.
